Cassidy Higgins's review
I love having a nice down parka with me. Even if it seems like overkill sometimes, this one is great because I know if I need to hunker down, I’m not going to freeze. I would probably bring a heavier parka if I was going to high altitude, but for everything else, this one is awesome.
